‘Dhadak 2 Is Not A Routine Love Story’

Siddhant
Chaturvedi
and
Triptii
Dimri
put
forward
their
never-seen-before
intense
side
in

Dhadak
2,
which
is
deemed
as
the
spiritual
sequel
to
the
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Janhvi
Kapoor-starrer
2018
film,

Dhadak.

If

Dhadak
was
a
remake
of
Nagraj
Manjule’s
Marathi
blockbuster

Sairat,

Dhadak
2
is
adapted
from
Mari
Selvaraj’s
acclaimed
Tamil
film
;Pariyerum
Perumal.

Karan
Johar,
whose
Dharma
Productions
backs
the
film,
says

Dhadak
2
is
a
“mainstream
film”
but
“not
a
routine
love
story.”

“It
is
a
story
that
makes
you
wake
up
and
think.
These
topics
are
not
just
related
to
small
towns,
but
they
happen
around
us
too.
It
is
a
true
reality
of
our
times,
no
matter
where
you
live,”
Karan
explains
at
the

Dhadak
2
trailer
launch.

The
trailer
shows
inter-caste
romance
wrapped
in
a
socially-charged
drama
set
in
the
Hindi
heartland.
Siddhant
and
Triptii
play
law
college
students
Neelesh
and
Vidhi,
who
challenge
the
deep-rooted
caste
system
as
they
navigate
the
complexities
of
their
love
story.

“Dhadak
2
is
not
a
usual
story.
In
fact,
it
is
special
beyond
measure,”
says
Triptii.

“It
was
quite
challenging
to
play
this
part.
I
have
always
desired
to
play
such
kind
of
characters
that
could
challenge
me
as
an
actor,
so
the
thrill
of
acting
continues.”

Why

Dhadak
2
is
special
for
Triptii
Dimri 

Siddhant
said
he
always
wanted
to
portray
a
small-town
character
and

Dhadak
2 brought
him
that
opportunity.

“By
default,
I
tend
to
choose
something
which
is
a
little
challenging.
If
I
talk
about
a
small
town,
I
have
lived
that
life.
So
somewhere
I
am
connected
to
it.
Somehow
those
things
were
not
coming
to
me.
I
remember
when
Karan
sir
called
me
and
said
there
is
a
story,
I
said
I
will
do
it
instantly,”
says
Siddhant.

Why

Dhadak
2
was
an
instant

for
Siddhant
Chaturvedi…

Director
Shazia
Iqbal,
who
is
set
to
make
her
feature
debut,
thanked
Karan
for
“putting
complete
trust”
in
her
and
revealed
that
she
got
on
board
for
after
he
saw
her
2018
short-film

Bebaak,
which
was
produced
by
Anurag
Kashyap.

“Generally,
there
is
a
certain
type
of
story
that
is
given
especially
to
female
film-makers,
but
I
don’t
think
my
producers
ever
had
that
thought.
They
had
the
full
trust
in
me
from
day
one,
and
I
think
that
helps
a
lot,”
says
Shazia.
